    Love him or hate him, Everyone has an opinion on him now, he has everyone talking about him. he's shaken up the game, for that alone he must be applauded.

    Read the rules, no one allowed say Conor will lose :pac::pac:

    Looking through flights/hotels and packages. Ideally would like to do the Thursday-Monday.

    One package (flight + MGM Grand hotel) was quoting me €1,200. Was also looking at Harrah's. Cheaper and is 30 minutes from MGM Grand.

    I'm sure there's a lot cheaper so any experienced Vegas travellers care to shed some light?

    Would travelling on the bandwagon work out cheaper than flying over?

    Think it's a bit rickety with all the new fans on it.

    Regarding the bandwagon, I personally don't care who watches the sport as long as they watch it. People have to start somewhere and McGregor has been that opening for newbies to the sport.

    Great to see.

    Agreed.

    But it's the likes that jump on the bandwagon for the sake of a few likes on a 'Come on McGregor, do it for is Irish' Facebook status or to be part of the 'trend' that annoys me. I'm all for people having to start somewhere but those who claim to follow UFC and have an interest in the sport but would look at you funny if you said GSP, BJ Penn, Silva, etc... they just annoy me.

    These same people will fade into darkness too if McGregor is beaten.

    I would never suggest that!! I'm just looking for an entertaining fight! Ran into John Kavanagh at the cinema earlier I wonder of he goes to something like Taken and things yeah I could take him.

    I booked through Expedia, Dublin to Vegas via London, €840. My mate is flying down from Canada and we're staying in the Luxor for 5 nights for €370.

    So all in its just over €1000 for me.

    How many nights was the €1200 package for?

    My dad can relate. Being a munster rugby supporter, he still hasn't forgiven my sister for being born on the same day they beat the all blacks

    So, what you're saying is that the childs name is going to be based on the outcome of the fight? Conor vs Jose - WHO WILL IT BE?!

    I'd love to name the kid Jose for the craic anyway. Imagine a pasty white irish kid called Jose. :D
